Anthocyanin Composition and Characteristics of ‘Gaeryangmeoru’, ‘Kyoho’, and ‘Hongisul’ Grape Varieties

본 연구는 국내에서 재배중인 '개량머루', '거봉', '홍이슬' 품종의 anthocyanin 조성을 UPLC-ESI-MS/MS를 이용하여 조사하였다. '개량머루'는 착색에 불량하게 작용하는 기상 조건에서도 착색이 우수한 흑포도 품종이고, '거봉'과 '홍이슬'은 교잡종 포도로 각각 검정색과 분홍색 과피를 갖고 있다. 과피에서 추출된 anthocyanin의 조성은 UPLC-ESI-MS/MS를 이용하여 분석하였다. 각 품종에서 검출된 anthocyanin은 '개량머루'와 '거봉'에서는 각각 25가지, '홍이슬'에서는 21가지였고, 각 품종에서 검출량이 많았던 anthocyanin은 8(개량머루), 15(거봉), 5(홍이슬)가지였다. 세 품종 모두 mono-glucoside가 di-glucoside보다 많았으며, '개량머루'와 '거봉'은 malvidin이 많았던 반면, '홍이슬'은 cyanidin이 가장 많았다. '개량머루'는 acylated anthocyanin(2.0%)은 거의 존재하지 않았고 '거봉'과 '홍이슬'에서는 p-coumaric acid의 acylation이 가장 많았다. Cyanidin feruloyl glucoside가 '홍이슬'에서만 검출되어 품종 지표로 활용이 가능하였다. 결론적으로 anthocyanin의 조성을 anthocyanidin, 결합된 당의 개수, acylation 및 특정 anthocyanin을 기준으로 분류하여 품종의 특징이 확인되었다. 이러한 품종별 anthocyanin 특성을 이용하여 '개량머루'가 Vitis amurensis 혹은 그 교잡종의 가능성과 '홍이슬'에서 품종 구별의 기준으로 활용 가능성이 확인되었다. This study was investigated the anthocyanin composition of 'Gaeryangmeoru', 'Kyoho', and 'Hongisul' grapes cultivated in Korea using ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) coupled to a mass spectrometer (MS) equipped with an ESI (electrospray ionization) source. 'Gaeryangmeoru' is a dark-blue grape used for winemaking that can reach its coloring in unfavorable weather. The 'Kyoho' and 'Hongisul' varieties are hybrid grapes that feature black and pink skin, respectively. The anthocyanins extracted from the peels of grapes were analyzed using UPLC-ESI-MS/MS. Twenty-five anthocyanins were identified in the 'Gaeryangmeoru' and 'Kyoho' varieties, and 21 were identified in the 'Hongisul' variety. Eight, 14 and five predominant anthocyanins were identified in 'Gaeryangmeoru', 'Kyoho' and 'Hongisul' grape respectively. In all three varieties, mono-glucosides were 2.3-5.9 times more abundant than di-glucoside. Malvidin was the predominant anthocyanidin in 'Gaeryangmeoru' (44.1%) and 'Kyoho' (56.5%), but cyanidin (96.8%) was in 'Hongisul'. The acylated anthocyanins in 'Gaeryangmeoru' (2.0%) were rare, whereas acylated anthocyanins with p-coumaric acid were predominant in 'Kyoho' (40.9%) and 'Hongisul' (70.7%). In particular, cyanidin feruloyl glucoside was found only in the 'Hongisul' cultivar and considered to be useful as a criterion for identification of the variety. As a result, the grape varieties were demonstrated to have variety-specific anthocyanin characteristics, enabling classification based on anthocyanin composition in terms of anthocyanidins, glucosylation and acylation. The taxonomical application of anthocyanin composition confirmed the possibility that 'Gaeryangmeoru' originated from Vitis amurensis or its hybrids, and the 'Hongisul' grape was distinguished from other grapes by cyanidin feruloyl glucoside.
